The house was very clear when we arrived and they provided everything we needed. The rooms are very comfortable. The only thing is that they enter in the house ( when we were absent ,without ask us) to check that everything is fine in the house. We just think that if we rent the house , it's good to ask us before enter there, only because a matter of privacy. But it wasn't a big deal, the owners were always very nice and courteous( they live in the second floor of the house). I would come back for sure.

We had a great stay at Andreas' house. Everything was as described, clean and well kept, with a nice patio and wonderful view of the medieval castle. Andreas' family - Katerina and George- are very nice, friendly and helpful!! Nice to have them as neighbors! We liked the village and the countryside, our 7 year-old son was impressed by the hens and goats and hunted the basking lizards endlessly! The area surrounding Kastro is stunning, packed with beautiful tropical beaches!! Beautiful sunset between Kefalonia and Zakynthos!

The house consists of three rooms, shower bathroom and garage and lies literally on the waves. There is a double-bed bedroom above which a wooden staircase leads to another double bed for extra guests. The spacious kitchen-dining room is fully equipped with all kinds of electric appliances as well as with two beds. The best space is the room in front of the sea with the huge sliding glass doors. This room is equipped with two sofa beds, large table that sits 8 people, telephone, tv, radio and cd player, internet and wifi , children’s play furniture and toys and comfortable arm chairs. Outside, on the beach, there is a shower, coffee table, sun beds, a hanging bed under the shadow of the big trees and a portable barbeque. 100 m away there is a camp site where you can find a restaurant, a mini market, pool bar and taxis. 1 km away in the village Glyfa there are 2 mini markets with local goods, a bakery and taverns.

A huge forest covers the mentioned area and makes it ideal for walks through the paths. One of these paths leads to an ancient little theatre. The whole area is surrounded by kilometers of sandy beach. Only 3 km away from Loutra you are in another village called Castro. It is famous for the fortress Chlemoutsi - Castel Tornese (where concert nights under the moon are enjoyed) and the breathtaking sunset view that overlooks the Ionian Sea.

This is the port for Zante Island (trip lasts 1 h), for Cephalonia Island (duration 2 h) and Ithaka. Boats go every hour and it is a splendid idea for day excursions.

Soula and George have been very kind hosts. The beach house is beautiful and We apprecciate their the hospitality. Thank you very much!

LucaAugust 2016

The ideal house on the beach is one of the most beautiful place in which you can stay to relax, to enjoy your private beach and to fall asleep hearing the sound of the sea. The house is complete of everything, perfectly clean and even provided of a small first aid box. All around you can appreciate calm and peace; it's an ideal place both for families and couples, really romantic! You can also rest in a fantastic hammock in front of the sea. Soula is a great host; she took care about us as if we were part of her family and she is also a real good cooker! We met her family too and spent time with them discovering new places, habits and Greek culture. We can say to have met new friends! Go there to relax, learn about history and a different culture. Thank you Soula, we will meet you again for sure! Pierpaolo and Carlotta

Pierpaolo August 2013

We had the most fantastic stay at Soula's wonderful beach house. You could not imagine a kinder, more generous and gracious host as Soula who left us everything we might need for provisions, and more - including birthday cake, a water melon and Ouzo! The location of the house is a dream and we didn't want to leave, even to go to other nearby beaches. The glazed, covered veranda is a lovely space to hang out in from morning till night, adjusting the sliding doors to fit the weather and afternoon /evening wind. The hammock is heaven and the outside shower delicious - never, amazingly too cold! (there is an inside shower too). The beach outside the house is rocky but two minutes walk along there is a clear way through to swim. The advantage of this is that the beach is not busy and you can while hours and days away just sitting and looking out to Zanthos (sp?) island, uninterrupted. The area is completely tranquil and friendly (neighbours offered us melons). There is also a lovely sandy beach a few minutes drive away at the end of the road, where there is a great taverna overlooking the sea. In short, couldn't recommend Soula's beach house more as a perfect, down-to-earth, get-away-from-it-all dream holiday spot.

GillianAugust 2014

Welcoming by Soula, George and Yannis was very nice with the dinner ready as we arrived at 9 p.m. Very charming house, and terrace where we could spend all day. It was very difficult to leave this quiet and beautiful place. Additional detail : the nice camping beside is very usefull for its minimarket Thank you very much soula

Soula's house was as I hoped it would be when I saw the picture of it: a lovely little house, on a quiet place at the seaside where you hear only the waves. It has one bedroom with a comfortable twin and in the living room annex kitchen there is a bunk bed. The kitchen has all what you need to make proper meals and I even managed to make my own bread in the oven. The small bathroom has a good shower and there was also a shower outside to use when we had our swims. Soula, such a lovely person who speaks fluently English, was there to welcome us and explain how everything works. She also prepared us a very tasty dinner of stuffed vegetables,waiting for us on arrival! As we checked in on a Sunday and the shops were closed she brought us all the ingredients to make a nice breakfast the next morning and even a bottle of ouzo was waiting for us. We could start our holiday right away. Thank you Soula! It was just so nice, comfortable and relaxing at the veranda looking at, and swimming in the sea that we did not do much more than that. We went to nearby Kastro, where there is a castle to visit and we had some "evenings out" in Arkoudi, a little seaside village nearby, which has some restaurants and shops. Soula made a whole list of possible excursions in the neighborhood,nicely printed out. There are some little shops for basics, some minutes with the car from the house and almost everything you need, you can find in nearby Vartholomio, about 10 minutes with the car. The internet was working well. Soula was easy reachable and there for us when we needed her. 5 stars for this place. I would not change anything and love to come again !

annemarieSeptember 2015

What a wonderful place to spend your holidays! The house is located directly on the beach, is well equipped and a clean and quiet place. Soula and Yannis gave us a warm welcome, picked us up from the bus and even prepared a typical greek dinner for us! During our holiday-week they took us to some nice beaches, showed us touristic attractions, nice restaurants and even an open air concert in an old castle. I will certainly go there again on holidays - and if I once need a remote place for some weeks to work on a project, I already know where to go! 100% recommended!
